I’m sitting in my recliner, watching a bunch of Lady Gaga music videos on Fuse. There doesn’t seem to be much else on that appeals to me. I had recorded the last hour or so of Happy Feet on the DVR but it apparently only wanted to record a random chunk of 10 minutes towards the beginning of the movie (I didn’t change the channel so it technically should’ve recorded the whole thing through the end). That pissed me off.
It’s father’s day and I’m so thankful and lucky to have the dad I have. He’s amazing. My cousin brought tears to my eyes last night, though, mentioning our grandfather who passed away in October two years ago. I miss him a LOT.
Lately I’ve been really wanting to take advantage of the work out room next to the pool in my apartment complex. At least, I’d love to walk on the treadmill or something for an hour a day to get started. I want to get rid of this stomach and smooth things out.
You know what I hate? When watching TV or doing anything else and it inspires a craving. Watching a random reality show, they were picking from a large platter of nachos and GOD I wanted them immediately. It’s easy to trigger a craving in me when I’m hungry, too. The closest thing I could do related to nachos is heat up some refried beans and maybe make a quesadilla with cheddar cheese and some leftover Taco Bell sauce. I’m not sure if I want to go through the effort though lol.
Tomorrow I’ll be going to my company’s picnic for our region’s associates. It’s about two hours away and I’m eager to enjoy all the free food (gosh, I’m sound like such a glutton!) and see my BFF and hopefully some of my old coworkers. The husband’s coming with – hopefully he enjoys himself at least a little bit.

Man, I love Lady Gaga. I don’t think I could ever get tired of her music!
You’re lucky to have a great father in your life. My dad is alive, but due to he and my mom divorcing when I was six, and his myriad of mental issues, our relationship is nothing more than… eh… awkward. We talk every few months and see each other a few times a year, but that’s about it. And my grandfather died in June 2009, so I don’t have him, either.
Oh, and I just want to say that I TOTALLY hear you on television-inspired food cravings. I never realized how often food is portrayed in commercials and on shows and movies until after I had my gastric bypass surgery. I remember being one week post-op and crying over an Olive Garden commercial. It was pathetic.

Her music is good and watching her in interviews always draws me in! I like her
I think I will let her stay 
I’ve always been very aware of how lucky I am to have the family I do. Most of my friends growing up didn’t have one, whole, “together” family unit like I do and I’m very grateful for what I have (had). I’m sorry about your grandfather
I’m still smarting over the loss of mine 
I remember as a kid wanting the food in ANIMATED shows, even! They managed to make sausages and other food look so GOOD even if it was a simple drawing of it
